I'm on Firefox 21 on Windows 7 here but that's not the issue.
I find it hard to read simply because of the random spattering of bold-face and indentation.
My OS is Centos 6.1(32 bit) and the browser is Mozilla Firefox 10.0.1 .
I am sorry if this sounds aggressive. But very rarely do we get the chance to interview some amazing men. When you do(or even translate), please don't mess up.
Few days ago, a Donald Knuth interview appeared. It was a good read. May be I got carried away.
Sorry anyway.
Secondly, he probably uses that as a starting point because that's when he produced the work he is known for. He isn't saying computing didn't exist before this date, it's just a frame of reference. "Back when I first invented Ruby 20 years ago...". What is wrong with this? Would you rather "Back when Guido invented Python 20+ years ago..." or "20 years ago"? It's an irrelevant detail.
If you're on CentOS 6.1 and your browser is Firefox 10, why are 5 images on a page such a problem? I didn't think it made things any harder to read at all and certainly didn't affect performance.
The increase of font size on the answers puts emphasis on the answers. I don't think this is a good idea but the intention is good and did not make the document anymore painful to read.
To finish, my eyesight isn't great and I read the article without my glasses.
Please man, you can deliver criticism without being a jerk. It's purely subjective and delivering with such disrespect makes you look arrogant, as though your opinion is law.
I also failed to correlate the "rant about some technical problem in a web browser (or whatever)" with "starting something from 1993".
However, everything is showing up pretty nice on my machine (Firefox 11.0 running on Ubuntu 10.10).
In terms of the images - they were all from the original interview article (linked in my post).
P.S. I am not sure what gave the impression that the interview was about Ruby, as "Ruby" is not mentioned in the title.
